problem with skyhd

Postby sidux » Thu 5. Feb 2009, 14:54

Goodmorning,

i have a urgent technical question.The problem is with irtrans poe and sky hd receiver.
I try to learn the code with the ir gui client using the original remote control of sky and the irtrans receives the
code correctly.
When i send to sky the code learned, the led of irtrans Flashes red but the sky receiver dont react.
I have try with another new irtrans poe but the situation is not change.
It's urgent please,because our client expected a solution immediately.
the distance between the irtrans and sky is few centimeters.

Note
I have other irtrans poe and they work correctly with the
cdplayer,suond amplifier.etc..


thank you

Hi,
some Sky remotes use very unusual IR Codes. To help you with that we will need to thave the original remote control for a few days to test it out.

I am also having problems with SkyHD. I am using IRtrans lan module with the iRedtouch / iPodtouch combination.

Overall, I am impressed with IRtrans. IRtrans seems to work OK with other devices in my setup, so the IRtrans module, installation and iRedtouch seem OK. I have checked on the web, and it is suggested that the SKY HD remote uses 39KHz, so all should be OK there.

In my case ITtrans seems to learn the SKY codes OK, but when IRTrans generates the codes, the HD box either fails to respond, or responds as if the button has been pressed twice and jumps two channels instead of one.

Did you manage to obtain a SKY HD remote (same as SKY+ I believe) and find out why IRtrans was having problems?

Some of the Sky HD remotes use an RC6 code without toggle bit.

The easiest way to do that using iRedTouch is to learn the codes as RAW codes.

In most cases that happens if you press the remote button too long when learning.

Which Software (PC/LINUX, iRed or iRedTouch) are you using ?
